How do I setup an IMAP email account

My windows Phone 8.1 saves my sent emails to 'Sent Items' instead of 'Sent' which is used by Outlook on my Windows 8.1 Tablet and Outlook on my Windows 7 Desk Top. How do I make my phone save the sent items to 'Sent'?

Some useful information is in the following thread: http://forums.windowscentral.com/wi...nt-sent-items-folder-another-folder-sync.html. Sadly I never found a workable solution other than changing the default folders in the IMAP provider to match those for WP. Everything I use now is based on a hosted exchange setup so I haven't paid attention to the subject for quite some time. Perhaps someone may have a work around.
